Franz,
Thanks much. That's exactly what was missing. By default, wonderful
Windows 2000 Server doesn't create a reverse-lookup zone. But after
creating one, and populating with the router information, the logs now
resolve names.
FYI - for some reason, Cisco routers don't seem to send to Win2K the
necessary information to automatically populate the reverse-lookup tables.
PCs however do send the info if the host name and domain are filled out in
Network Properties for TCP/IP under DNS.
